NEXT TASK Of SCIENCE.
The Startling succession of mine
disaster*in various portions of the;
I’nited States is little short of ap-j
palling. It was only a day or so
ago when the seal on the fatal Cher-!
ry mine, where more than a hundred
I todies have lain for months and in
which more than another hundred
lost their lives, was removed, More
than a hundred more miners were
blown to bits or suffocated by the
deadly gases in the recent Colorado
and Kentucky mine catastrophes.
The contemplation of these hor
rors, though due in all three cases
primarily to criminal carelessness
on the part of some person or p< r
gons, is dominated by the reflection
of man’s impotercy thus far iu
dealing with the perils which the
miner has to face every time he
descends into wlmt too often proves
to he his grave. Science has all
but conquered the air. It has made
the ocean safer than the land. It
i
has overcome all the recognized
inenanees of transportation by rail
or steamship; for, barring what the
law regards as acts of Providence,
somebody’s carelessness is the only
obstacle to the practical elimination
of casualties on land and water,
i Science has di vd to the bottom of
(the sea in submarines and ascended
thousands of feet toward the sky in
airships.
The victor in such achievements
must, however, stand impotent be
fore the deadly threats ot mineral
gas, surely a foe worthy of the eon
j quest of even the science which has
made the ocean a highroad, the air
a pathway and the waters under the
earth a mere shimming pool; which
has spent its thrilling call for help
out into the darkness and . heard it
answered; which has robbed disease
iof half its terrors and made even
death pause; which has explored
the arcana of nature and read its
secret archives written in rock and
germ and ray of light; whose
scalpel and spectrum have pene
trated deep into the mysteries of
the universal enigma- This same
puissant savior of the race can
not indefinitely admit defeat
and stand at the blackened
mouths of mines waiting in the
agony of helplessness for the fires
to cool and the air to become pure.
It will draw upon its laboratories
for some mighty secret to nullify
the death-dealing malevolence of
S what is only a gas; it will smother
those awful fires and hew away the
obstacles that lie be ween dying men
and the blessed light and air. Sci
ence will not forever let human
beings die like rats in underground
traps. —Kansas City Journal.

THE SILVANDO.
Qu*sr Whistling Language of th Ca
nary Island Natives.
In Gomera, one of (he smallest of
the Canary islands, the silvando. or
whistling language, survives. A cor
respondent writes: "A traveler must
land at the little port of Shu Sebastian
and there find a muleteer from the in
terior. With him he must ride up the
steep bridle paths that wind through
the mountains. When no longer any
living thing is within sight and the
wilderness is only broken by the crim
son flower of the cactus growing in
the clefts of the rock, the muleteer
dismounts, sets bis forefingers togeth
er at a right angle and places them
In Ids mouth. An arrow of piercing
sounds shoots a*p>ss the ravines and
op the stony terraces Into the fast
nesses of the mountains. A moment’s
pause and there comes a thin, almost
uncanny, answering whistle from far
away. Conversation begins and. is
the sounds rise and fall, are sraoea
toed or drawn out. so they are faith
fully of hoed and transmitted by the
hills.
‘•Then comes the ghostly reply, and
then question and answer follow with
out hesitation or misunderstanding.
Perhaps the stranger will ask. ‘What
ure you doing there?’ Answer: ‘There
Is a traveler with me. One of our
mules is lame. Can you bring ua a
fresli one?’ ‘Yes, 1 can. Do you
want anything else?' "You m'olt bring
some milk alofig if you hare any,'
and so on. That the conversation i9
correctly interpreted is presently con
firmed by the arrival of the mule and
the milk, and the distance that sepa
rated the parties to the dialogue turns
out to be about three tulles.
“Long notes and short notes, rising
and falling tones, go to make this mar
velous means of communication. No
record Is to be found of Its origin or
I ! dory will be a thousand ,
pities if scientific Investigation is not
made before the silvando Is added to
the list of dead languages, as assur
edly it will be within the next two or
three generations.”— News.
The Twk> Angels.
The following allegory is told among
the Turks:
Every man has two guardian angels,
one on his tight shoulder and one on
his left. In doing good the angel on
the right shoulder it down and
sets a seal upon It. for what Is done
is done forever. When evil Is com
mitted the angel on tin? left shoulder
writes it down, but he wait* anti! mid
night before be seals it. If by that
time the man bows bis head and says,
“Gracious Allah, I have sinned; for
give me!” the angel blots out the fault,
but If not he seals it at midnight, and
then the angel on the right shoulder
weeps.

A Canine Feat.
A blind man, guided by • large and
athletic dog, went df>wn the street the
other day. Just as they turned a cor
net- the blind man’s dog saw a dog it
knew and darted forward in a way
that threw the sightless mendicant to
the ground. He was speedily assisted
to his feet, however, by a waggish
passerby, who remarked that he had
heard some remarkable of the
feats performed by dogs, but this was
the first time he had ever known oner
to pull down the blind.
